Salmon Fishing is the main draw for fishermen in the Lower
Mainland area, both freshwater and saltwater.
The Fraser River sockeye salmon run some years tops 20
million fish. Pushovers for pink hootchies, pink salmon
also arrive in their millions in odd numbered years.
If you wish to get in touch with your primal side, fish
the prehistoric sturgeon of the mighty Fraser River. Your
guide will lead you to one of these ancient fish that
may top 500 pounds, and take all morning to land.
McDonald Beach on Sea Island in Richmond
features a boat launch, a bait shop, and several picnic
tables arranged on a high bank beside the North Arm of
the Fraser
River.
There's also fishing in Richmond near Steveston,
where a municipal pier juts out into the Fraser at Gilbert's
Beach beside the South Arm Dyke Trail at the foot of No.
2 Road, just east of the Steveston harbour.
Anglers
can catch salmon, trout, and numerous other species
from the shores of Deas Island Regional Park.
The Riverside picnic area is one of the most popular
areas from which to fish. A Tidal Waters Sports Fishing
License is required by all anglers, and is available
at most fishing shops.
In the summer months, try your luck for salmon off the
BC Ferries Ferry Terminal in Tsawwassen.
You'll need a saltwater fishing licence before you toss
a line into the waters around Greater Vancouver. Licences
are available at most sportfishing stores.
